Default CB mounted on dash...ugly from the outside looking in

I really want to mount my CB on top of the dash in the center but the only thing thats stopping me is that you can see the back of the radio and antenna coax from the outside. Basically I'm saying that when you look at the Jeep you see it plain as day in the windshield. Any ideas on how you guys covered it up (like tint the bottom 6" of the windshield) or do I just need to get over it? No, I really don't want to have to mount it somewhere else.

Well only other option I can think of is some sort of cowl. I don't know who makes any for a cb but a marine store like west marine would carry one for a radio and VHF radio. That's the only option I can think of other than tinting the windshield. try to google search it. I'm sure someone out there had the same thoughts as you and figured something out. Good luck!

I put the jeep sticker in the center. The one that has just the grill and the hood and says jeep. Like $3 problem solved.
It's like the 2011-2012 have stock on the windshield glass

I like that design you did there. Is that something you are actually selling or just showing off?

Do you have any design plans for something like that?
